Ultra-Distance Cycling. Not something most of us have even contemplated. Emily and Shu have. And they're probably the UK's two most recognised and respected.

Emily, meanwhile, quietly took First Female in the 2016 TransContinental Race - completing the 3,800km route in less than two weeks and throwing in 50,000m or so of climbing for good measure.
